Cambridge 5-A-Side Football League

The Kelsey Kerridge 5-A-Side league was formed in July 1976 and consisted of 12 teams each paying £12. The name changed in 1980 to the Cambridge 5-A-Side League.

The popularity of the league grew and soon there were enough teams for two divisions. The number of teams in each division has varied but usually has been twelve, with 2 teams being promoted/relegated each season.

The winning teams have their names engraved on a trophy (except for the first couple of years when the trophy was not engraved due to the relatively high cost) which they keep for a year, Winners and runners-up receive medals for their players.

The Team of the Season Trophy was first awarded in 1985, for the team (or teams) who play all their games, played the game with good spirit, wear the same kit colours, pay their fees in good time, and are a credit to the League.

The format of the cup competition has changed over the years, usually some form of mini league followed by knock out rounds to the final.
